A 59-er trying to figure out the blog site - HELP!!!!
 |  |
Hi Carolyn Thomas Presswood;
JD Barton here, a classmate of yours, and I am sure you have no idea who I am.
I live in Texas, and did not make the reunion this year, but from the looks of all the pictures and blog notes, it was a smashing success.
I check the site fairly often, and enjoy looking at the pictures....and trying to remember some of the folks, but knowing that they would not have ANY IDEA who I was if they saw me.
Sometimes I have wanted to make a comment about a particular picture, but have not figured out how to access the blog site to post a comment where it says to do so.
Could you give me an idiot lesson on this please?
I just saw a picture of the Nashville group getting together, and I recognized Gail Grammer immediately (have not seen her since graduation). Wanted to say hello, but it kept telling me that my profile is not recognized, etc etc etc.
Any help you might offer is greatly appreciated.
Jay Barton (JD)
from Dru Smith Fuller:
JD: Try clicking the title (such as a 59-er trying to figure out the blog site (above). Scroll down and an opinion form should be revealed. Also, send anything you want me to post. My email is drufuller5565@yahoo.com
I just thought, since you posted the "after 50 years" pic of me, you may as well put the "before" pic alongside it, if you can.....just for grins. Then any viewers will be making comments like Gomer Pyle....."Golll-llleee....wonder what happened to that guy!" Thanks again, Dru. JDB

Chattanooga CHS59ers get together planned!
This is a follow up to my previous post.
We have had several classmates interested in the idea of gathering periodically for a meal, fun and fellowship. This is not an "official" committee meeting although we do have fun at those, but an invitation for any and all CHS 59ers in the area to have a social event once a month. The Nashville group has been doing this and have a great time, so we are going to try it a while and see how it goes. You don't have to RSVP or make reservations, just show up!
Our first get together will be THURSDAY, AUG 27TH AT 6:00 P.M. AT THE SOUTHERN STAR RESTAURANT, downtown Chattanooga. We may try dinner this time and lunch another time to see which works best for all.
We hope to see many of you there,
Carolyn (Thomas)Presswood
